Sharpen your pencils, grit your teeth, and find out
This book of Simon & Schuster Crossword Puzzles is pleasant enough, but the puzzles aren't quite as intriguing as those in the first book were. However, when finished, I shall definitely order the third book. So far, the series is the best I've found, except for those of Merl Reagle.

This puzzle book is on good paper, easy to read and work on. I had hoped it would be spiral bound for ease of working back page puzzles, but it's not. That's the only disappointment. Other than that one complaint, it is a big, easy to use, fun to work, crossword book. I've been able to complete a good percentage of the puzzles (with help from a Xword dictionary), so it's not so difficult that it is discouraging, but at the same time the puzzles are challenging and fun.
